Overview
Downtown Providence is experiencing a renaissance of its historic brewing scene- join us for a walking tasting tour of Providence's local libations, including delicious beer and spirits produced right here in Rhode Island's capital city.
Between tastings, learn about the incredible history of Rhode Island prohibition in a state that never ratified the Prohibition amendment. Immigrant-rich Providence found it a little too difficult to part with its Old World drinking cultures, despite what the Feds had decided was "moral."
From the zealous coalition who brought it to Congress, to liquor loopholes, to famous bootleggers and undercover agents and corrupt officials, Providence's Prohibition history is rich with characters and culture you won't find anywhere else.
